Five years later.

On the shaking carriage, a little girl about seven or eight years old, wearing a double bun, lay on the knee of another woman over thirty and still beautiful, raised her face and asked, "Mom, half a year has passed, when will my brother come back?"

The woman's expression became dark and she instantly returned to normal. She raised her hand and pinched her pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "Brother has lived in the capital for a long time and will not come back in a short period of time. If you miss your brother, you can write a letter to your brother."

The mother and daughter are neither other people, but they are mulberry leaves and dumplings who have just returned from the county town.

"No, mom, you are lying!" Tang Yuaner sat up straight and looked at her mother angrily: "My brother said before leaving that he would be back at most six months, and he would not lie to me."

Sang Ye's heart moved and confirmed, "Brother has really said this?"

Tangyuaner focused on the key points: "I said it, if you don't believe it, you can ask about Lantern Festival, as Lantern Festival was there at that time."

Sitting next to the side, two fat claws holding pastries, eating like little hamsters. When Lantern Festival heard someone calling him, he raised his head in a daze, looked at his mother, and then looked at his sister, obviously not keeping up with the rhythm.

Sang Ye naturally believed her daughter and said something, and her face showed a little excitement: "Since my brother said that, he will definitely not lie to you. I think it was because of something that delayed the trip, maybe he was already on the road."

Tang Yuaner suddenly became happy, picked up a piece of snack and took a bite: "Then I'll wait a little longer, no, I'll wait for three days. If my brother hasn't come back in three days, I'll go to the capital to find him by myself."

Sang Ye fell into deep thought and ignored her childish words.

Last year, the former emperor, who was suffering from illness, passed away and left a will to be passed down in the crown prince An Yu. After An Yu ascended the throne, he issued four imperial edicts in succession. The first imperial edict was to enthrone the original crown princess as queen, but no one expected that after the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor would give the second imperial edict - the deposed queen!

Not only the deposed queen, but also confiscated the deposed queen's mother's family for the crime of colluding with the enemy and treasoning the country, and all his three generations of blood relatives were put into prison, waiting to be defeated. This move shocked the government and the public. In the face of ironclad evidence, no one dared to violate the power of heaven and pleaded for the deposed queen and the deposed queen's mother's family.

The second imperial edict was to restore the identity of An Min's royal family, and to be granted the title of Prince, and to give the title of Shun, and to use the original Prince's Mansion as Prince Shun's Mansion.

It is not difficult to guess the intention of An Yu to do this, it is nothing more than showing his kindness to the people of the world. Perhaps the first emperor summoned An Min and Feng Ning from the Northern Wilderness to test An Yu, and to pave the way for An Yu. Otherwise, he would not have let the couple have awkwardly passed for several years.

The third imperial edict was the opening of the enthronement department, and the new emperor personally issued a question and ordered the world to go to Beijing. Two years ago, Huan'er participated in the autumn examination and won the leader in one fell swoop.

Huan'er's teacher deliberately suppressed him and did not allow him to participate in the spring exam the following year. This time, the Encyclopedia was a rare opportunity, so he was allowed to go to Beijing.

As the son of the prince, Huan'er could not continue the examination. However, his identity was not revealed, and no one knew what the new emperor had planned. Huan'er also wanted to use this to go to Beijing to see the situation of his biological parents. So he packed up his things before the New Year and left with Feng Lun, who was also going back to the capital.

Before leaving, Huan'er had never said anything to come back. Sang Ye was afraid that he would make things difficult for him and dared not ask. He had long agreed that he would stay in the capital and fulfill his filial piety to his biological parents. Unexpectedly, he promised Tang Yuan'er that he would come back.

Sang Ye felt a mess in his heart, both looking forward and worried. He was looking forward to Huan'er coming back, but he was afraid that he would be tied up and it would not be so easy to come back.

Recalling carefully the days when my younger brother arrived home five years ago, Sang Yemo calculated when Huan'er might get home. Until the carriage drove to the door, he was still thinking about when Huan'er would come back.

Zheng Lin lifted the curtain of the car and carried his children out of the carriage. Seeing that his wife was sitting in the carriage without moving, she pushed her hands into the carriage: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sang Ye came to his senses, looked at his increasingly mature face, and did not tell the truth: "I'm a little worried about Huan'er, I don't know how he did the exam."

Zheng Lin took her hand and got off the carriage carefully, without exposing her: "With Huan'er's knowledge, it's no problem to be named on the gold list. What you should worry about is whether he will bring you a wife back."

Sang Ye suddenly relaxed and gave him a blank look: "Huan'er Xu was only seventeen years old, and she is still a child!"

Zheng Lin did not argue with her about whether she was seventeen years old or not. She said leisurely: "Xiao Jiang Xusui was seventeen years old and got her first daughter. Xiao Shan Xusui was eighteen years old this year, and he also decided to marry him after autumn."

Mulberry leaves: "…"

This guy is getting older and more annoying!

As soon as the couple entered the door, two giants appeared in front of them, but they were fat groups and big gray that had not been seen for many days.

"Ao--" The fat group rushed up enthusiastically, kissing the two of them, not counting their tonnage and strength, and they kept swaying from one another and almost pounced on the ground.

Big gray was watching from the side. It has never been relatives and has not changed at all over the years.

Speaking of which, the two big guys are not young anymore, one male and one female have been together, and the baby has given birth to two.

But my luck is not good, and it may be because the novice is inexperienced. The first child is not raised and the baby is gone in less than three months. The second child is healthy and strong. Unexpectedly, when they go out to hunt, they encounter a pack of wolves and are bitten to death.

Neither of the two cubs was raised, which was a big blow to Fat Group and Dasha, and the same was true for Mulberry Leaf. The two round little guys were taken to their homes not long after they were born, but they didn't expect that they would never see each other again after meeting them for a few times.

"Okay, okay, I've been a father-in-law, and I'm still so unrestrained." Sang Ye patted Fat Tuan's big head, opened the dessert box at hand and fed it a piece.

The big ash, who smelled the sweet smell, came over, and stretched out his big tongue and rolled the snacks fed to his mouth into his mouth.

Mang Ye's eyes fell on Dahui's belly inadvertently, and unexpectedly found that his belly was bulging, exactly the same as when he was pregnant with a baby.

"Is this a second time?" Mang Ye was surprised to circle around the big gray, gently pressing the place where it bulged, and found that the hand felt hard and was still moving, so he immediately confirmed that they were going to have a baby again.

Judging from the size of its belly, the mulberry leaves guessed that the ash was in the delivery period. However, the first two babies were born in the nest, but this time they came to her home. She couldn't help but suspect that the death of the two cubs had caused them to have a psychological shadow, so she wanted to give birth to this baby at home.

The house where the two bears live is still preserved, so the mulberry leaves are taken over and a lot of fresh vegetables are prepared for them to eat.

But they didn't seem to be hungry, and they didn't eat it after a few bites. The big ash lay in the house, and the fat ball was circling around the yard, rubbing around with indescribable organs, obviously marking to prevent other animals from getting close.

After settling down two big guys, Sang Ye was about to lie down and rest for a while, Xiao Jiang came over and told her that her grandparents were back.

"When did you get home? Are your grandparents the only ones?" Sang Ye quickly changed his clothes while greeting Xiao Jiang outside.

Xiao Jiang replied: "I arrived home half an hour ago, and my aunt and cousin are also back."

Sang Ye was overjoyed: "Your cousin is three years old, I have never seen you before. They are twins, so they should look very similar, right?"

Xiao Jiang said: "It's not very similar. My cousin looks like a little aunt and my cousin looks like a uncle, but we all think that my cousin looks more like you, aunt."

When Sang Ye heard this, he fell in love with his little niece whom he had never met before. Speaking of which, there were five brothers and sisters, and she was indeed the most similar to her brother. The little niece looked like her, so naturally she looked like her.

After she finished packing up, Zheng Lin also cleaned up the two young people. The family of four followed Xiao Jiang and happily went to Lijia Village.

Last year, Sang Yuwai was placed next door at Chongyang Prefecture and served as the fifth-rank magistrate. Although it was next door, it was only two days away from Taoyuan Town, which was much closer than Taoyuan Town to Yunzhou Prefecture.

Old Man Sang and Mu had not seen their youngest son for more than four years, so when Sang Yu took office and arrived at Chongyang Mansion, the old couple went there by themselves without waiting for him to send someone to pick him up. They stayed there for more than half a year, and they spent the Chinese New Year there last year.

Sang Yu had a prosperous Shangguan fortune, but in just five years, he was promoted from a seventh-rank editor to a fifth-rank magistrate, which was faster than the No. 1 pick and No. 1 and Tanhua of the same period. As long as he did not make any mistakes in his post, he should be able to go further after three years.

It’s not that no one is jealous, but no one dares to stumbling against Sang Yu. All the civil and military officials in the court knew that he had the blue eyes of being the son of today, so that he could reach his position step by step.

Everyone knows that as early as the Hanlin Academy, An Yu, who was the crown prince, personally promoted Sangyu to read. Usually, he taught books for the king of a country. At that time, the late emperor was bedridden and was now under the supervision of the country. Therefore, Sangyu's main thing every day was to teach books to An Yu.

This lecture took four years, and it was not until An Yu succeeded to the throne that he issued an order to release him to Chongyang Prefecture.

If Sangyu is lucky and meets a noble person once or twice, then in Sangyu, she unexpectedly promoted to lectures and Sangye no longer believes that this is just a matter of luck.

Especially in his correspondence with Sang Yu, he once asked her in a vague way if she knew her and Prince An Yu, which made her terrified for several days and had several nightmares.

She didn't know if she was thinking too much, so she could only remind her to be cautious in her words and actions in the letter again and again, and not to be arrogant. She was relieved until Sang Yu released her.

At this time, the main hall of the Sang family was full of people, mostly old men and old ladies from the village. When they heard that Old Man Sang and Mu came back from their youngest son's house, they came to the door with curiosity and asked the old couple about this and that.

The table was also filled with tea and snacks for those who came to the door to use, and they did not feel despised.

Old Man Sang and Mu are old and have been exhausted after two days of hard work. However, the villagers in the village are not good enough to drive people away, so as not to be labeled as looking down on others, and they will continue to live in the village in the future.

Looking at the Mu family, who was wearing silk and satin, wearing a whole set of gold ornaments on his head, ears and wrists, and his spirit was completely different from that of him, an old lady said enviously: "Old sister, there is no one more blessed person in this village."

Mu smiled faintly and said, "You said I am lucky. I also envied your children and grandchildren for being filial to you. Unlike my young man, I have never seen each other for several years. I missed me and my tears were almost dry."

After hearing this, the smile on her face became a little deeper. Indeed, her children and grandchildren were not as promising as the old sister. They were rarely filial and surrounded by them. They were not afraid of closing their eyes one day and not even seeing them.

A large group of old men and women were chatting enthusiastically. Until the closest Sang Ye brought the man and the children over, the people also left consciously.

"Mom, I see you have become white and young. When you go out, people think we are sisters. It seems that I am raising people there." Sang Ye approached Mu as soon as he entered the door and flattered him with a smile.

Mu hugged Tang Yuaner with one hand and Yuanxiao with the other. The three grandparents and grandchildren were intimate. When they heard Sang Ye's words, they glared at her: "I'll talk nonsense as soon as I come. I'm not afraid of jokes when it comes out, and I'm not serious about comparing with my daughter."

"I didn't say nonsense. Mom is just getting younger and younger. If you don't believe me, ask your father." Sang Ye was serious and his tone was very sincere.

Old Man Sang, who was standing beside him nodded in cooperation, and his eyes looked at his wife as warm as ever.

The son-in-law was in the house, and Mu had an old face red and said to drive the person out: "Your father and I are tired and have no time to talk to you. Go to the backyard to greet your brother-in-law and the three of you."

After saying that, he rubbed the heads of Tangyuaner and the siblings of Lantern Festival and said kindly: "Your aunt is back with the twins. The twins are not familiar with our family. You are brothers and sisters. Do you know if you want to take your younger brothers and sisters to play with?"

Tangyuaner received many gifts from his uncle and aunt during the holidays. He had long known that he had a pair of twins in his cousin. When he heard his grandmother's words, his eyes glowed and he nodded obediently: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of my cousin and take them to have fun."

Yuanxiao has always liked to learn from her sister, so she also said angrily: "Grandma, so is Yuanxiao."

"Be good~" Mu was so surprised that he kissed each of his siblings on the faces and let them go.

The family of four came to the backyard and before they saw anyone, they heard Yu's loud voice and the children's chirping. Fortunately, they were crying and calling their parents.

In recent years, including the twins, the Sang family has added four boys and three girls. In addition to the twins, the third generation is the son and daughter of Sanglin and the Liu couple. The fourth generation is the second son and daughter of Li Wanwan, Xiaojiang, Li Wanwan, who is considered a prosperous man.

But as many children are older, they are similar in age, and they are often furious and beaten.

Two years ago, Guoer Zaoer and two girls got married one after another. The son-in-law were both Sang Ye who helped her see them. She lived in her husband's house quite beautifully and had children. She just ran a business in her husband's house and didn't have many opportunities to go home.

"Big sister, brother-in-law!" Zhao Sirou, who was sitting in the corridor, was the first to find Sang Ye and others. She stood up and said hello and called the twins to salute: "Qing Yi, Qingran, come and see your uncle and aunt quickly."

Zhao Sirou's clothes were simple, with only a green jade hairpin on her head. She was dignified and generous in her actions. Even if she deliberately restrained herself, she could not hide the temperament of the official wife. It was very different from when she first arrived at the Sang family. I think she has been socializing among other official wives in the past few years.

The twins grew up with their parents, and under their words and deeds, they were very different from the children in the village. But seeing that they were still having fun with their cousin, nephew, and nieces last moment, they tidied up their clothes and treated them in a moderate manner.

"It's all my family, so there's no need to be polite." Sang Ye hurriedly asked the brother and sister to get up, took out the meeting gifts they had prepared before, and each of them stuffed one.

The brother and sister turned their heads to look at their mother. When they saw their mother nodding, they smiled and took the gift: "Thank you uncle and aunt."

Sang Ye liked two small dumplings very much. He resisted the urge to rub his head, but just gently touched their pink cheeks, for fear that his behavior would scare them too much.

Zheng Lin told Tang Yuaner a few words of Lantern Festival, and sent them to play with his cousins. He was a big man who was not good enough to stay with his female relatives, so he said hello and went to find his two brothers-in-laws.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to come back with your two children this time? Is it for your 60th birthday?" Sang Ye was not familiar with Zhao Sirou and didn't know what to talk about, so he asked why she came back.

Old Man Sang is less than 60 years old, but if the elderly here celebrate their birthday, they usually pass one year in advance. In another ten days, it will be the birthday of the birthday, which was decided last year.

Zhao Sirou said: "Yes, my husband is busy with official business and can't take time to come back."

Sang Ye nodded and turned the topic to Sang Yu: "This is my first time out, no one from above makes things difficult for him, right?"
